Challenges and Countermeasures of Food Safety Regulation in China

The current situation of Chinese food safety regulation was analyzed in this paper.Chinese food safety regulation was faced with dual challenges of the traditional and unconventional food quality and safety problems,such as the food regulatory interest subjects' out-of-control behavior,the uneven development of food industry,genetically modified food,environment pollution,and so on.However,at present,the segmented food safety regulation system in China,the weak food safety monitoring infrastructure,the relatively backward inspection means,and the rapidly aging team are not adapted to the requirements of food safety regulation.The urgent need of the food safety regulation in China is to establish a national special food safety regulation department,perfect the legal system of food safety regulation,set up the food industry trade credit archives,and implement the food quality and safety traceability system as fast as possible.
